The Case of NIcGarzcIe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE application of
the Governor of Illinois for the extraditon OF
McGariGle, the fugitive Chicago ex-warden.
which has been received at the Department of
State will be reserved for the personal consider
alton of Secretary Bayard when he returns to
the city. AS a rule, action upon applications for
extraditop papers is purely formal, the prelimi-
naries to granting the request consisting merely
in examination of extradition treaties to as
certain if the offense charged falls within their
terms. But it is understood that in the present
the application is based upon charge OF
conspiracy, for which no provision IS made IN
the existing treaty with Canada. A legal point
of gravity is involved in the application and
its consideration may, therefore, occupy some
time.

WABASH, Sept. 12-The first intelligence OF
the appointment of William Wilson postmas-

Journal, and created sensation. When, last
week, it become known that Judge David Tur-

him and endeavor to induce the withdrawal Of
the recommendation. They secured an inter-
view Friday. The Judge peremptorily refused to
comply with the request, and the quartette came
home satisfied that Herff would be appointed.
Mr.. Wilson abandoned the fight
and Major Kidd then told the
Journal correspondent on Saturday that there
was but slender chance of pulling Wilson
through. The surprise of everybody may be
imagined when the announcement of Wilson's
appointment was made. Mr.. Huff, who is

CRAwFoRDsvILLE. Sept 12.-The contest over
the authorship is again before the people. The
history of the case is about as follows: In 1882
John L. Cohen, Democrat, was elected county
treasurer, and on Sept. 1, 1883, took possession
of the Office. In August, 1884, he was found to
be $27, 900 short. He made this good in
various ways, and the County Commissioners
required him to give new bond before he could
continue in Office. When Gobens term expired.
Sept. l. 1885, he was gwen credit for some
$1,000 in order to make his accounts balance.
This $1,000 was virtually shortage, but for
some reason soon forgotten. Last year Cohen
was nominated for auditor on the Democratic
ticket. Then the $1,000 shortage was made public,
which was pronounced by the Democrats lie.
Cohen received sixteen more votes than the Re-
publican candidate. G. r. Brown. Brown then
filed papers in contest, claiming that Cohen
was defaulter at the time of his election ne
was ineligible to election. The case was first
called before the Commissioners who decided
that Cohen was not eligible. from the act that
he was yet defaulter, and that Brown. having
received the next highest number of votes was
elected auditor. Cohen appealed to court, and
the decision of the Commissioners was reversed
it being held that Cohen was eli gble to election;
but. if he was defaulter. he was not eligible to
hold office unless he should pay what yet
due before the time arrived for him to take pos
session of the Office. The Commissioners then
employed two experts O. B. Lockhart and
Gerard Reiter, to make thorough examination
of the books. To-day these experts made their
report which states that when Goben's term ex-
pired he was SIS, 69l. So short. During his term
he had received SOC, 332. 40, and only 57,640 ~
was accounted for, leaving the balance of 49,,
69l 6S yet due from Cohen to the county.
